9:6

Salaam all,

9:6
وَإِنْ أَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ اسْتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرْهُ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ كَلاَمَ اللّهِ ثُمَّ أَبْلِغْهُ مَأْمَنَهُ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لاَّ يَعْلَمُونَ
Wain ahadun mina almushrikeena istajaraka faajirhu hatta yasmaAAa kalama Allahi thumma ablighhu mamanahu thalika biannahum qawmun la yaAAlamoona

The Aya says:
And if someone of the polytheists asked for your (singular) protection then protect him until he listens to Allah’s statements then help him reach his safety/ safe place. That is because they are people who do not know.

My personal note:
The Aya continues to give nuance to the subject at hand and that is while the previous Ayat are about the determination for the demise of the old system, the Prophet and his followers are supposed to keep conducting themselves in the best possible standard of manner and behavior including offering safety to whoever is asking for it.

The Aya also talks about letting those who are given safety hear the message of Allah and then letting them reach their safety after they heard the message and without coercion to convert to Islam.

Istajaraka: sought your protection/ sought your support
Note: the root is J-W-R and it means in concrete neighbor or an entity that is close to where one is.
